The proposed distributions are mainly raised versions of distributions obtained using Taylor's (1995) method.","PeriodicalId":148043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (IEEE Cat.

As more electronic systems operate at higher frequencies and bandwidths, more EMI gets generated. In a portable PC, the data bus and the clock are major EMI sources because they conduct high currents and form large loops. Due to lack of shielding, portable computer systems have come under increasing pressure to comply with strict EMI emission regulations, such as FCC and CISPR. Traditional techniques to reduce EMI attempt to contain or to reduce the amount of generated radiation. Coaxial wires and shielded cables are effective at containing radiation, but are expensive, bulky, and inflexible. Metal chassis with sealed seams are effective for reducing EMI of desktop PCs, but portable PCs are kept light by using plastics. Toxic metal paints are sometimes sprayed on plastic housings for portable PCs to provide shielding. A newer technique to reduce EMI is to vary or modulate the clock frequency in the PC. This technique is known as spread spectrum clock, since the frequency spectrum of the clock is spread over a wider range of frequencies. The paper focuses on this method to reduce the peak EMI emissions of the clock and data signals for EM compatibility.","PeriodicalId":148043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (IEEE Cat.

There is a concern over the possibilities that exposure to EMFs might affect the process of carcinogenesis. Controversial information is available on the effect of EMFs on DNA integrity. Hence, the present study was carried out to investigate the invitro effects of ELF-EMFs of varying flux densities (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mT at 50 Hz) on DNA integrity in human peripheral blood leukocytes using comet assay. All exposures were given at 37/spl deg/C (i.e., human body temperature). The experimental setup to produce the EMF consisted of an assembly of a dimmerstat, transformer, ammeter and air-cored coils to provide the desired field intensity at the seat of the blood samples. One set of coils was shielded against external, stray electromagnetic fields by housing the set of coils in a mu-metal (extremely-high-relative permeability magnetic material) box. Four types of exposures were studied simultaneously: (1) EMF exposure, samples shielded inside mu-metal box, placed in an incubator; (2) EMF exposure, samples not shielded, arranged inside the same incubator; (3) no EMF exposure, samples not shielded, but placed in dummy coils inside another incubator, and (4) no EMF exposure, no shielding, no dummy coils, but samples placed in a thermos containing water maintained at 37/spl deg/C. In addition, one set of samples was processed immediately after collection without any treatment. Heparin zed peripheral blood samples were collected from 6 adult males in the age group of 20-24 years. The subjects were non-smokers and non-drinkers of alcohol. Their leukocytes were processed by comet assay in the above mentioned treatments and controls. 100 cells per treatment were scored for comet tail-length which is an estimate of DNA damage. DNA damage increased with exposure dose. The results are similar to our earlier studies. Moreover, DNA damage had the following trend according to the types of exposures mentioned above: non-shielded exposed inside incubator>shielded exposed inside incubator>non-shielded non-exposed inside incubator>non-shielded non-exposed inside thermos>control.","PeriodicalId":148043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (IEEE Cat.

Nowadays the system has its applications in commercial world also. The electromagnetic environment encountered by receiver systems in deployment conditions is often non-Gaussian in nature, owing to collocated EM systems comprising of own and enemy EM assets competing for the spectral resources resulting in co-channel, adjacent channel, wide as well as narrow band EMI situations of complex dynamics. The signal detectors designed for Gaussian statistics may suffer significant degradation when the actual statistics deviate from the Gaussian model. Both man-made and low frequency atmospheric interference environments are basically impulsive-noise, i.e. they have a highly structured form, characterized by significant probabilities of large interference levels. Under such environments the performance of the receiver systems, designed to perform optimally in Gaussian-noise, degrades significantly. The paper evaluates the performance of slow FH/NBFM communication systems in the presence of non-Gaussian noise. Theoretical calculation of BER is given for both, L-D detector and differential detector. The approach taken here is based on modeling the non-Gaussian noise as a two-component mixture of Gaussian distributions.","PeriodicalId":148043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (IEEE Cat.
